When finishing a basement or attic space an egress is necessary to meet code requirements for safety. An egress provides a secondary passage outside in the event of a fire or other catastrophic event that blocks the primary entrance and exit. Older homes typically had large access doors built on the side of the house for easy entry and exit. Newer homes typically have an egress window large enough for an adult person to pass through. HomeTech 942 can replace old egresses or install new ones if and when needed.
